Fatimid Islamic Tombs

Aswan’s Islamic cemetery is one of the oldest Muslim cemeteries in Egypt. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities dates its use from the second century AH through the Mamluk period and notes that the cemetery preserves some of Egypt’s earliest experiments with domed mausolea during the Fatimid period. This record should therefore be understood as a medieval Islamic funerary landscape, not as a group limited only to the tenth and eleventh centuries.
